We found coblation tonsillectomy to have advantages of less bleeding, shorter operating time, and less postoprerative pain than conventional tonsillectomy. We found that 40% of those on whom a coblator was used reported no postoperative throat pain, and noted a quick learning curve in decreasing postoperative bleeding in coblation tonsillectomy.
